Eerie Hallowe’en Like: Weekly Photo Challenges

I have posted this photo before, but it was the first idea that popped into my head when I saw the photo themes this week.

The Peace Tower at Night

This photo was taken in Ottawa, Ontario of our nation’s Parliament Buildings. I find it eerie in sepia and due to the angle. Normally the building is shot with blue skies and as a wide shoot taking it all in.

Parliament Buildings

Although come to think of it this sky looks a little eerie. Shortly after this was taken a heavy rain and thunderstorm passed through.

This is my response to 2 different photo challenges this week. WDBP wanted something Hallowe’en inspired; something that gave you the chills and looked a little spooky. Maybe this would remind you of Hallowe’en? The other is WordPress and the theme was eerie. Be sure to check them out to get all the detail and learn more about what they are looking for.

Thanks, that is my favourite too and very different from the traditional pic that we usually see of the Parliament which was the one below with the ‘eerie’ sky.
Thanks for the visit and taking the time to comment.

Visiting here via Bastet’s Pixelventures. The first photo is such a brilliant shot – the angle, the sepia color, and the lighting all work together to create that eerie feeling. And, if I’m not mistaken, that is Gothic architecture – bonus for creating a creepy feeling.

The second photo has its own merits. Again, I think that is Gothic architecture, and the tower on the right almost looks like it has a face looking out over the property. The sky and the natural lighting create a dark and gloomy feeling.

PS I think you are right is is gothic inspired and based on the architecture of our founding country -Britan. It copies the idea and style of the Parliament in London England on a smaller scale.
